Division Day




C                                F
There was a grown man dying from fright
Am                               D
So surprised by the things he'd say
C                                F
With a giant fantasy life
Am                               D
Running round on feet of clay
C     F          C         F 
Naked except for perpetual death
Am               G        F
That couldn't be stripped away
C                F          
And I'm right to prove wrong
C            F  
It moved him along
F         G        C         G
Closer to Division Day

C                                F
I spent a long time living with that
Am                               D
never could give it a name
C                                F
and when you don't know what you're looking at
Am                               D
makes it much harder to tame
C     F          C         F 
mostly they'd meet when he was asleep and
Am        G        F
have some sick exchange
C           F
that struck him as wrong 
C           F       F         G        C       G
and moved him along closer to division day

(solo - OVER THE VERSE CHORDS C/F/Am/D X 2 )
C     F          C         F 
I can't make an exception for a bad connection 
Am        G        F
that only goes one way
C     F          C         F 
sell out for a song where I don't belong 
F           G        C        G
with you on division day

C                                F
the moon stood up on the ridge
Am                               D
looking down where the water shines
C                                F
and a man looking over the bridge
Am                               D
like he'd done so many times
C     F          C         F 
thinking about how to stay out
Am      G        F
out of trouble's way
C     F          C         F 
flying to fall away from you all
F         G        C   G\B   Am
it's over division day
F         G        C
beautiful division day




During the verse chords try to avoid hitting the top "e" string. i find that this sounds better. also when the chorus comes in and there is a lot of swift changes between C and F, use your little finger to hammer on and off the 3rd fret of the D string to create a Csus4 where necessary.

Hope this helps.
